4 Galveston Fisherman's Queer Bu
Highly Accomplished Pets.

a Galveston Fisherman's Queer But
Highly Accomplished Pets.
OF all the queer characters that ever ex.
listed in Galveston Fisherman Brown is the
queerest, says the Neios. Fisherman
Brown has his habitat upon Kuhn's wharf,
where he ekes out miserable existence by
as Moor, and wears old and shabby gar
ments. Yesterday the tide had receded
to an unusual degree, leaving boats of
every description high and dry on
ground. Around Kuhn's wharf the
water was particularly low, but Fisher
man Brown seemed to like it. In the slip
which the wharf company had cut out for
erecting dry docks Brown had pulled his
boat, and was eagerly peering over its
gunwale into the sluggish-running water.
AS soon as he saw reporter who hap
pened to be in that locality Brown began
TO tell what he knew about crabs. In
formation oozcd from him like the precious
altar Of roses, and he grew quite enthusi-
astic.
"Oh, about crabs, he said, presently, as
he drew up a net; mot many understand
the ways of crabs. Crabs have their tastes
like people, and many times have seen a
crab tell another crab what to do. When
the water is smooth and green and the
day overfowing with sunshine, then is
the time / watch the little creatures. 1
pull them up in my net and wait to
see what they will do. Sometimes
l haul up half a dozen of different
sizes, and they act just like people; they.
are gyesdy and selfish The big ses-cyabs

Every Species Known to the Genus to u,

a correspondent Of the New York Time,
is authority for the statement that second
in Importance to no other attraction at Sara,
toga, the mineral springs included, are tn.
widows. If any man wanted to make a co.
lection of widows, just as men collect crock
cry, post-marked postage stamps, coins and
other very interesting things, he would find
every species known to the genus, and every
issue Of the present century at any one Of
the big hotels here. Every other woman
you meet is widow, but she is u nice wild
ow, and rich enc in every case, the rich
ness in the matter of widows does not be
come embarrassing. OF them all a certain
New England widow is looked upon as the
most effective. She has fine jewelry, but
nothing artificial which compares with
pair Of eyes-widow's eyes-which
she uses with matchless ability
They all dress effectively, all have at
tractive, commonplace faces, little mel.
low by grief, and in some cases q little
more mellowed by time. Some of them,
in fact, look as if it would be wise to lay
aside hopes of that second bridal robe,
and inquire with Christian diligence into
the latest fashion in shrouds.
Their leader, by common consent. is a
charming dwellcr at the Grand Union. The
joys and woes of three marriages have
invested her with an experience to which
the others defer Some of them can look
back with tears to two occasions, when the
rumble of the casket over the hearse-door
roller has made them faint with agony, but
she is the only one who has seen three occa-
sions of that kind and lived. AS she is the
best of company, has a sympathetic heart
and S, 100000, it is within the possibilities
that she may yet again listen to the Men
delssohn march, concluding, as she con-
templates the terrible bigamous outlook of
the hereafter, that she may as well be mar
ried for an old sheep as lamb

TIE EMPEROR,S BELL.
Interesting Facts Concerning It's History
Weight and Inscriptions.

Weight and Inscriptions.
An official notice has been published Of
the great bell for the Cathedral of Cologne,
the solemn Inauguration of which took
place recently with great pomp. The bell
weighs $1,000 kilogrammes, or about %
tons IL hundredweight. The clapper alone
weighs 800 kilogrammes, or nearly Is 81
hundredweight. It's perpendicular height
is almost IA 1-2 feet; it's diameter at the
mouth nearly ii 1-2 feet. Twenty-Five
cannons taken from the French were as
signed by the Emperor William for its man
ufacture; 5000 kilogrammes of tin were
added. 1t was cast by Andreas Hamm. of
Frankenthal, and 81 900 marks, or $3.50
were paid for the casting. 1t will be known
as the Kaiserglocke. or Emperor's
bell; and as the two large bells in the
cathedral bear the epithets respectively Of
Pretiosa (precious) and Speciosa (beauti-
ful), this one is styled Gloriosa. 1t bears
above an inscription recording that
William, the most august Emperor of the
Germans and King of the Prussans, mind
full of the heavenly help granted to him
whereby he conducted the late French war
to prosperous issue, and restored the;
German Empire, caused cannons taken
from the French to be devoted to founding
bell to be hung in the wonderful cathe-
ural tnen approaching completion" A
likeness of st. Peter, the name-patron Of
the church, Is on the side, beneath which
is quatrain in the style Of the medieval
conceits, praying that, as devout hearts
rise heavenward at hearing the sound Of
the bell, so may the door keeper of heaven
open wide the gates of the celestial man
sion. On the opposite side is inscribed a.
sestet in German, of which the translation
is:
81 called the Emperors bell;
Iproclaim the Emperor's honor;
On the holy watch-tower am placed,
pray for the German Empire,
That peace and protection
God may ever gr mt TO it,"
The bell was solemnly blessed In the
cathedral by the Archbishop of Cologne,
according to the elaborate ritual set out I'm
the Pontiticale Romanam. The ceremony
was very long, many psalms being chant
ed by the clergy and choristers while the
bell was being sprinkled with blessed
water and anointed with chrism, and the
portion of st. Luke x, 3S-42, was chanted
by Deacon. Incense and myrrh were
burnt within it, and many symbolical
rites performed. The opinions of experts
are divided as to whether the note which
the bell sounds is G sharp or D.

A Tised(?) Man.

An Americas man started home
in his buggy the other night. Be-
ing very tired, he went to sleep
and allowed the horse to manage
things his own way, as was the
custom when his owner was tired.
Instead of pursuing the usual
route the horse took a nigh cut up
tho railroad. The travelling was
good until an unfinished trestle
was reached. The animal carried
the buggy and its contents to the
end of the trestle and was forced to
halt. There he stood peering into
the darkness on a precipice forty
feet high when the man was
awoke and comprehended the sit
uation. As it was too dark to
extrlcate the horse and buggy
from the perilous position the
tired man was compelled to wait
five hours before daylight

Judge 0. A. Lochrane, OF Geor-

is attorney for the United Tele-
graph lines and the Pullman Fal-
ace Car Company, and the bust
ness of these two corporations
brings him to New York about
every two months. Speaking
about the Judge calls up n story
with which he is credited.
Gov Gordon, Senator Colquitt
and Gen Banning were together
in the Southern army. The first
two are very religious and always
engaged in prayer before going
into battle. One day just before
the Federal troops were about to
charge, Gems. Gordon and Col
quit started toward a little log
cabin. On the way they met Gen.
BsnLing, and they asked him to
join them in the cabin. He sup
posed they we're going in there to
take a drink and followed them.
"Give me drink, quick" said
Gen. Benning, ."as there is no
time to lose"
eve did not come here to
drink" said Gen. Gordon; eve
came here to pray"
Cob, excuse me," said Benning,
rs he hurried out of the cabin.
His conduct Mortified the gener-
ais. They could not understand
how a man could be 80 Indifferent
on the eve of what promised to be
very fierce battle. After having
prayed fervently they went Into
the conflict full of confidence.
When the battle was over it was
found that both Geas. Gordon and
Colquitt had beon seriously in
jured, while Gen. Benning had not
received scratch.

nature was found, however, and
the basket and contents was sent
to Spies by one of the guards.
From the above circumstance
it can be seen that Miss Van

not dead, but sleeping, notwith-
standing Sheriff Matson's edict
and the notoriety which she has
recently received.

The social position of the En-
glish clergy was cot always one
of respect AMI consideration.
From the latter bali Of the sew
enteenth century down to about
the middle OF the eighteenth the
position of the inferior clergy was
regarded somewhat in the same
light as that Of upper servants,
to whom no young lady would be
guilty Of showing any favor, much
ess giving her hand.
The domestic chaplain was rel
egated to tue servans' hall for his
meals; was expected to do "a bit
of gardening" and to make him
self generally useful in return for
his bed anl board. A waiting
maid or one of the upper servants
was considered good enough as a
wife for his reverence, and not in
frequently the bonus Of such a
helpmate was tackled OF to the
gift of the family living when the
time came for rewarding the chap
lain's service with a pension, thus
killing two birds with one stone
and with ali due economy.
